A single investment firm links Silicon Valley defense-tech money to the launch of Tucker Carlson's media company.
Who they are
1789 Capital is a growth-investment firm run by Omeed Malik, Christopher Buskirk, and Rebekah Mercer, with Donald Trump Jr. as a partner.
What they do
It puts money into companies, and in the engine's read it acts as a bridge connecting a defense-technology money world to conservative media.
How it works
Buskirk is a documented close associate of Peter Thiel, and the firm co-invests in Thiel- and Musk-linked companies (Anduril, SpaceX, xAI, Neuralink). In October 2023 it led a $15 million early investment into Tucker Carlson's new media company.
Why it matters
It shows how the same pool of money behind defense technology can quietly flow into and shape alternative conservative media. The engine deliberately does not name any single person as the one in charge here.
